CGiii Comment

1 hour TOO LONG - this marathon has appeal only to those who want to have a glimpse into Japanese [gay] life....and, according to this, it is really dull.

Slow and as absorbent as a piece of rubber, it's all manners and tradition - brooding women and sperm-filled gay boys - it's just so...un-entertaining.

The acting seems to be okay...but, the direction is an overstatement of simplification.

Only for Japanese aficionados.

The(ir) Blurb...

2 guys who are gay, one female who is lonely for someone to love. The woman approaches 1 of the guys and wants him to seed her would be child. Gay guy 1 moves through the movie with all the usual angst. Gay guy 2 loves him but is just this side of giving up on gay guy 1 because he is too ambivalent. The parent and families get involved and all heck breaks loose.
